GIORGIO BAGNARA,
FOUNDER AND CEO
OF GIOBAGNARA
Born into a family renowned for cultivating for three
generations the art of living, Giorgio Bagnara became
passionate about his calling at a very early age.
In the late Nineties, after noticing that leather from the
fashion industry was not considered enough as material
for home accessories, he founded GIOBAGNARA
with the goal of applying it to a complete collection.
Along with his wife, Vanessa, he decided to move
his design studios and workshops in the old docks
of the Port of Genoa where, surrounded by the essence
and beauty of that location, the company took
a signifcant step forward.
GIOBAGNARA
Renowned for its elegant creations that convey luxury
without ostentation, GIOBAGNARA adheres to the
highest standards of craftsmanship. By pursuing
a philosophy that incorporates traditional know-
how with leading-edge technologies, and offering a
limitless color palette of quality leathers and suede,
founder Giorgio Bagnara has been able to experiment
and push the technical boundaries of his craft in
order to create pieces that are both beautiful and
functional.
Launched in 1999, the GIOBAGNARA brand
has quickly earned a reputation for expert leather
workmanship, and its founder has become a key
partner for a large number of interior designers
as well as a select group of yacht and private jet
designers who rely on his specialized knowledge to
realize made-to-measure commissions.
In 2015, Giorgio Bagnara expanded his leather
goods portfolio with the acquisition of saddle leather
specialist RABITTI1969.
In 2017, Bagnara initiated a collaboration with French
designer Stéphane Parmentier, who was appointed
creative director of GIOBAGNARA and its affliate
brands.
In 2018, the company’s portfolio grew with the
strategic acquisition of PIGMENT FRANCE, a
respected company with specialized skills in leather
covering and the weaving of wicker, rattan and straw.
Today, two decades after its launch, GIOBAGNARA
counts more than 60 employees
The brand now boasts an impressive offer of quality
leather homewares and is ready to embark on its next
exciting chapter.
